Someone emailed me worried that Slashgeo had shut down. They wondered what happened to the http://slashgeo.com/ website. I reminded them that the correct url is Slashgeo.org, but was surprised to see what was at the Slashgeo.com website. The link is NOT SAFE FOR WORK so be careful if you click on it.

Guess that explains why SlashGeo.org is blocked now by our corporate firewall. It wasn’t last week, but it is on the black list now. I guess the firewall is blocking all slashgeo.*, rather than just the .com. I guess I could ask them to open it, but I doubt I could come up with a business reason to do so.
I hate when people say “Don’t click on this”, without saying why. That just makes me wanna click on it more
I’m just a bad person sometimes.
It really is NSFW so don’t be tempted. I’m pretty sure that you can guess what it might be.
Is slashgeo.org working for anyone? I can’t get it a home and it wasn’t working at work.
So, which one is better?
(I can’t access slashgeo.org right now, either).
Apologies, slashgeo.org is down right now, hope to have it back online as fast as possible. (it’s out of my reach)
I am extremely surprised about slashgeo.com!!
I can’t believe anyone thinks slashgeo.org has enough traffic to be worthy of typosquatting. Wow. That’s strange…
The site was bought on October 27th, but I can’t get more info from the whois entry…
yea, makes me want to snap up all the planetgs.* right now.
What’s In+ersec+ion?
Do you need to be 18+ to do it?
I just checked http://www.slashgeo.com, and it seemed to be talking about Spacial. Am I missing something here?
It would appear they have shifted from porn to advertisements.
